Past champ Stuart Appleby withdrew prior to his second-round tee time at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, citing a back injury. He posted 5-over-par 36-40=76 during his first round.

The Aussie finished runner-up at the 2002 Shriners and returned to win the 2003 edition. He's returned eight times (now nine) since then, posting nothing better than T23. After day one where he found just 10 greens in regulation and lost 2.73 strokes putting, he called it quits. This injury is nothing new for the 45-year-old who underwent back surgery in March of 2015. Because of this back ailment, Appleby remains a risky play anytime he tees it up. Nov 4 - 9:04 PM

Open qualifier Stuart Appleby signed for a 2-under-par 34-34=68 after today's second round of the Travelers Championship and a two-day total of 4-under 136, up eight spots to T16 with play still in progress.

The 45-year-old was originally fifth alternate but went the OQ route, surviving a 7-for-2 playoff to make his 11th appearance at TPC River Highlands. He opened with a three-birdie one-bogey 68 and matched that exactly on Day 2. The Aussie, who entered the week 146th in the FedExCup standings, squared a lone bogey at the par-4 ninth on a failed scramble, his final hole of the round, but otherwise was spotless, circling Nos. 13, 3 and 6. For a second straight lap, he mustered 10 greens in regulation and 1.700 putts per GIR, but is currently 2nd in SG: Putting at 5.660, including 2.109 in R2. Appleby hit all 14 fairways in the second round but was a -1.081 in SG: Approach-to-Green. Aug 5 - 6:27 PM

Stuart Appleby twirled a 5-under-par 34-33=67 at Ellington Ridge Country Club during today' open qualifier to put him in a seven-way tie for third before he advanced out of the 7-for-2 playoff to punch his ticket into this week's Travelers Championship.

With a T38 at the RBC Canadian Open, the Aussie failed to meet the terms of his Major Medical Extension. That won't stop him from trying to earn his card for next season, as he currently ranks 146th in the FedExCup standings. His experience at TPC River Highlands can only help, as he's 7-for-10 at the Travelers with top 20s in each of his last three visits. Gamers should not expect miracles this week, but the length of TPC River Highlands (just 6,841 yards) makes it very manageable for the 45-year-old who ranks 160th in driving distance.

The third round of the Barbasol Championship was suspended at 5:16 p.m. CT due to inclement weather with players being removed from the course. UPDATE:Play was called for the day at 6:18 p.m. with 43 (of 82) golfers scheduled to resume on Sunday at 7:30 a.m.

This was the second weather delay of the round, following a delay of 1 hour, 33 minutes between 1:28 p.m. and 3:01 p.m. One player who got his lap into the books before play was abandoned was Stuart Appleby, who is making his second-to-last start on a Major Medical Extension. He entered the week with two starts remaining to earn 108.180 FedExCup points or $229,508 to retain status. The 45-year-old began the third frame on 6-under (T16) after opening his tourney debut in 67-69. He recorded his first dropped shot of the week with bogey-5 on the fourth, ending his blemish-free streak at 39 holes, but was flawless from there on out, playing his final 14 holes in 6-under (six birdies). The Aussie also sits 152nd in the FEC standings with just six events remaining before the start of the Playoffs, inclusive of this week, but that number is irrelevant to him, unless he meets the terms of his medical first.
